I haven't been here for a long while, mainly because facebook has been sucking most of my computer screen time.

I deactivated my fb account yesterday specifically because of all of the negativity and the fact that it had become unenjoyable.

There are few things I love more than Tolkien.

I'm so happy the mods/admins here emphasize all of the points made in this post.

It's nice to know there's a place we can go to discuss and read about these beloved stories openly, freely and respectfully with others who feel the same way knowing that disrespect will not be tolerated.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be home tonight. The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold. They're wearing steel that's bright and true They carry news that must get through.
